Author's note: The name I got for the baby was used BY ME in a previous story (not fanfiction) that I stopped writing. Give me a break, I really like the first name and I thought the second one sounded really good with it.
Gah! I can't BELIEVE I'm just now getting to this and I've been home all day.
Vasya: She's been on the phone all day with her boyfriend. -spits last word out-
Oh, you're just jealous I wasn't spending the day with you, Vasy-wasy. –ruffles Vasya's hair-
Vasya: How many times do I have to tell you, lay off the hair, woman!
-glares- Don't talk to me like that. I know everything about you, I hope you remember. I HAVE BABY PICTURES!
Vasya: Crap….
Chapter Six
Draco thought and thought and thought; still he felt like there was no name fit for being the name of his son. After much contemplation however, he finally got it. "Dakota London Malfoy," he said smiling.
"Dakota London Malfoy, I like it," said the nurse beaming.
"You never told me your name," Draco said suddenly, turning to her.
"Oh, I'm so sorry!" she said. "I'm Marissa Clarington. Call me Mari though."
"And you can just call me Draco," he said. "Thank you so much for taking care of him. It really means a lot to me," Draco said as he looked back down at Dakota.
"Oh don't mention it!" Mari said smiling again. "I love taking care of these kids, you know. Hey, I'm not trying to get rid of you," Mari said suddenly, "but don't you have a wife to attend to?"
Draco gave her a confused look, before laughing. "Oh, we're not married," Draco said. Mari raised her eyebrow. "I mean, not yet," Draco said. "But you're right, I best get back to her. She'll want to know all about him," Draco said as he cast one last look at his baby boy, before heading back to Hermione and Blaise.
"Dakota London Malfoy," Draco said as he burst into Hermione's room. "How do you two like that?"
"I love it Draco," Hermione said smiling. Blaise on the other hand, just shook his head.
"You know Drake," Blaise said as he walked over to his best friend, and slapped him on the back. "I would have bet $50 you would have named the poor kid after you. Wait, I did bet you'd name the kid after you! Drake you just cost me $50! What kind of friend are you?" Blaise said offended.
Draco gave his friend a confused look, before Hermione burst out laughing. "Yeah Blaise, you owe me $50. Draco, I knew you wouldn't name the baby Draco Jr." Hermione said smiling.
Draco laughed. "Now what's so wrong with that?" This only earned a smack on the back of the head from Blaise.
----------Four Months Later----------
"Thank you so much, Mari. This really means a lot to us," Draco said as he gave her a hug. Four months of being together every day made Draco, Hermione, and Mari become good friends.
"Like I said before, don't mention it. Kota's such a sweet kid," Mari said as she stroked the baby's cheek. Kota giggled and buried his face in his father's strong chest. "Oh please, you're not shy!" Mari laughed. "Honestly, this is the most outgoing baby I've ever seen."
"I wonder where he gets that from," Hermione said. "It couldn't possibly be from Draco," She said laughing.
Draco looked offended. "Just because I'm not outgoing doesn't mean you have to be sarcastic!" Draco said, before winking at them.
"It's not fair Draco," Hermione said as she took Kota from Draco, who quietly settled into her arms. "He looks exactly like you, and his personality is so much like yours already."
"Oh he looks like you too Hermione," Draco said as he put his arm around her. "He has your nose," Draco said gently as he touched Kota's nose, causing him to giggle. "He has your curls, too," Draco said.
"Okay fine, but everything else about him is you!" Hermione said. "Except maybe his love of books," Hermione mused.
"I read!" Draco said, sounding deeply offended.
"Not as much as him," Hermione said looking down at Dakota, who suddenly reached for Draco.
"Aw, come to daddy," Draco said as he took his son back, who quickly clung to him as tight as his four-month-old hands could grasp.
"Thanks again, Mari," Draco and Hermione waved as they walked out of the hospital room, and then out of the hospital entirely and to Draco's car. After strapping Dakota safely into his car seat, they too got into the car.
"You ready to face everyone at once?" Draco asked as he pulled out of the parking lot, and onto the highway.
"What are you talking about?" Hermione asked confused. "My parents, Harry, the Weasleys, and of course your friends have already seen him over the past four months!"
"Not all at the same time, and not with the both of us there," Draco laughed. "Everyone's going to be asking to hold him at the same time, you know. And of course they're all going to want pictures of Kota's first day home."
"As for pictures, I don't mind that at all," Hermione said. "As for who's holding him, I have a feeling he's going to be stuck to you like glue with all those people crowded around him," Hermione laughed. "If you don't remember, the first time someone other than you, Mari, or I tried to hold him, he cried and cried until one of us took him back."
"Yes, and if I remember correctly he wouldn't let you or Mari hold him if he couldn't see me," Draco laughed, and Hermione glared at him.
"Definatly a daddy's boy," Hermione said shaking her head.
"That's my boy," Draco said as he reached back and ruffled the baby's hair. Kota laughed and grabbed Draco's hand.
"He's got a pretty good grip," Draco said amused, as they pulled into the driveway.
Author's note: There ya go! By the way since I never did this earlier, I own nothing but my mistakes. Review please! Don't kill me for skipping so much time. I just didn't feel like writing that.Also, I'm so so so sorry that this was unbelievably short. I ran out of stuff for this chapter. I tried making it longer, but it didn't work. Never fear, though! I'm writing the next chapter as we speak. I promise, it will be longer! I'll also have the return of Harry, Ron, Ginny, and the whole lot back! They seem to have dissapeared from this fic...
REVIEW!
